The SUNY Brockport men's basketball team will host "Dunne Night" on Friday, February 7^th as the Golden Eagles welcome Nazareth University for Empire 8 Conference action at the Jim & John Vlogianitis Gymnasium at 7:30 p.m. Prior to the start of the game, the Golden Eagles will honor retired Head Coach Greg Dunne for his accomplishments during his 24 years of coaching at Brockport. 

Dunne posted a .655 winning percentage (271-143) and guided the Golden Eagles to three SUNYAC Championships as well as four NCAA Division III Tournament appearances. He retired in September of 2023. He was a two-time SUNYAC Coach of the Year, and he was also head coach for one SUNYAC Player of the Year, three SUNYAC Rookie of the Year selections and two SUNYAC Defensive Players of the Year. He coached 32 SUNYAC All-Conference selections, including 15 first team picks and he also guided 10 players to All-Region honors, including East Region Player of the Year and All-American First Team selection John Ivy, who is also the program's all-time leading scorer. Dunne spent eight years as an assistant for the Golden Eagles before taking over the program as head coach for 16 years.
 
Dunne and the Golden Eagles never missed a SUNYAC Conference Tournament in his 16 years at the helm. He advanced to the SUNYAC Championship game five times, coming away with conference titles in 2020, 2014, and 2009. In 2014 he was named the Glenn Robinson National Coach of the Year after guiding Brockport to the SUNYAC Conference title and a 24-4 overall record. He was also named one of D3 basketball's 50 most influential coaches on multiple occasions, an NABC All-District Coach of the Year and a USBWA All-Rochester Area Coach of the Year.
 
In 2019-20, he guided the Golden Eagles to the Sweet 16 and posted the second most wins in a single-season in program history (26), but the storied run was cut short due to the pandemic as Brockport was set to host Tufts in mid-March.
 
His impact on the Brockport program truly began back in 1999 when he accepted his first assistant coaching position under the guidance of previous head coach Nelson Whitmore. Whitmore and Dunne teamed up to help guide the Golden Eagles to consecutive conference championships in 2000 and 2001.  The momentum continued as the Golden Eagles went to the NCAA tournament five of six years from 2000 to 2006, including an appearance in the Elite 8 in 2006-07. Dunne has been a part of five of Brockport's nine total conference championships.
 
Dunne was a 1999 graduate of Nazareth where he was a four-year starter for the Golden Flyers and is among the top all-time assist leaders. He was voted the Empire 8 Conference Player of the Year and was a Second-Team NABC All-American as a senior. For his accomplishments at Nazareth, the University inducted him into their Athletic Hall of Fame on April 18, 2008.
